DARWIN’S BEARD!!! Have any of you seen the sheet music for Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody?
A. It whipsaws back and forth between 4/4 and 5/4 time. Cazart!
B. It uses guitar chords so hard to play that only somebody with a left hand like the Incredible Hulk and the speed of the Flash could even attempt them, let alone play ’em in close order drill like that. Cue me swearing like a dockside bawd.
C. Crawling away now with my various inadequacies breaking trail.
Phew, Imagine is much easier, played slower, and still interesting musically.
If anybody’s wondering I’m working my way through MTV’s 100 best pop songs looking to challenge myself with new chord progressions and possibly ‘Songs I may attempt to learn at some point.’
Oh, thank the Zimmermans for Dylan, the worst chord for Tangled Up In Blue is F#m, which is a bar chord so simple even I can play it.
Mike’s 45th bday today at Garry Point Park. Jeff and I plan to go for a couple of hours.
Jeff and I did the lawn yesterday which improved the appearance of the place markedly. I had a horrible experience getting the gas for the lawnmower earlier this week but I’m not going to complain about it as I have calmed down somewhat. Life is full of sad realizations. Including the sad realization that whoever owns the place across the alley has now spent thousands of dollars on renovations to that house, only to once again rent it to what appears to be the same ilk of person who trashed the place the last time. IE smokers with big dogs and a relaxed attitude toward garbage in the yard.
Can’t get hold of Katie, she keeps leaving her phone at home.
I should really get back to backing stuff up before my 5 year old hard drive quits. Jeff has been quite diligent about reminding me and I’ve been a slug.
Jeff came up with a really interesting mapping idea this morning. I will be messaging Coz Gerald to find out just how hard it would be to for cartographic newbies.
Google and Jeff’s cellular provider have finally fixed their handshaking problems regarding the calendar in Google. This was a real issue as the push notifications to the phone were broken for like a month, and it’s hard to run a business when your appointments keep disappearing. The two of us are considering getting new phones, but I’m kind of inclined to keep the Blackberry until the keyboard softsides up.
Dead Can Dance concert in August, so looking forward to it.
Okay, back to work….
